Hi...

If i leave my tablet on , for a few hours ( more than 3 ) it not only turns it self off , but wont turn back on with out a power lead plunged in .. after 30 mins, I can turn of my tablet , yet it come to calibration screen ( as if it was new ) , it then boots up as normal and i see tha battery has 50 + % in it .. so it cant be a battery isue..

When you first got your tablet did you charge it straight away, because if you did not do that than you have got a memory effect on your battery, the same thing happens to one that I had, the same problems as you.

Had to return it for an exchange

They are using Lipo batteries in this and I am very familiar with these being into RC Helicopters. Lipo's usually do not have battery memory issues like nicads. However you have to be careful not to over discharge them as that ruins them. The Arnova should have proper protection to keep that from happening. If your battery is not charging then you probably just have a bad set in the Arnova. Memory again is not a problem with these kinds of batteries.

Thanks for the replies...

Its only done it once ... it charges ok... i did followall intructions when i go it..

I do use it far to much..so the porr little thing does get a battering !... I had this issues once before with my HTC desire.. it was teh ROM , reflashed it , it was fine.

I can see loads wrong with this rom , but for now everything is working, so i'll leave it ...most days i keep it topped up anyway ... i'll give a month and see
